Just Finished Reading
Difficult weekend for reading - our beloved Lillie (the pig) died on Friday.
Finished off:
The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood (listening)
Started on:
Have you ever been curious about how people live when nobody is watching? Have you wondered whether there's more going on than meets the eye?
In the final week before a federal election, political adviser Francis McGuire is tasked with one job: launching the Opposition’s flagship health policy.
Every detail is in place.
Until the party’s ruthless campaign strategist decides to sabotage it.
When his plan backfires, Francis is made the scapegoat. Publicly shamed and hunted by the press, she flees to a small town on Western Australia’s south coast — the same place she escaped after her father’s fatal car accident years earlier.
Sometimes the dead will not stay dead.
It’s Halloween, and a killer long thought dead has suddenly reappeared, setting both the Dublin criminal underworld and the Gardaí on edge. Smiling Johnny Gildea–the textbook definition of a charming monster–is back and intent on settling old scores, chief amongst them the death of his baby brother.
Bunny McGarry has to find him, and fast, before Gildea takes out the person he holds Bunny’s partner and best friend, Pamela Cassidy.
When nine-year-old Freddie and his friend go missing in the bush, their parents scramble to blame each other. Why did they let the boys camp out alone? And why did the boys disappear? In the small hinterland town, the online backlash against the adults is brutal.
One murder. Six suspects. Two billion reasons to solve it.
Only Murders in the Building meets Schitt's Creek in this charming and quirky cosy mystery set in a funeral home (and B&B).
Welcome to the Rite Love Funeral Parlour (and B&B), where the tea is hot and the bodies are cold.
AustCrime Update: end of August
It's August. Seriously it's the END of August - where did the year go? When did the promise to catch up with MtTBR piles evaporate? Where did any of the good intentions for this year go?
Reviews
Another very varied set of book styles, so another set of fanciful categories.
